    used to use zone alarm free version but now changed it to norton 2007. the new version of norton is a big improvement. no more pop ups that i had on zone alarm. i would like to try comodo but when i run the installer, it said my OS is not supported. i'm using vista home premium. any ideas?

    Norton Internet Security 2007 here. It come with the AV program. No slowdown, no hiccups. It works inobtrusively in the background.
    Their 2007 release surely make a big difference.

    NIS 2007 is certainly a great improvement over previous Norton offerings. I ran the trial version and was very pleased. Just couldn't give up the $50 or so to buy it. I am using AVG Free instead.

    I did that, stealth on all ports. However, I failed the leak test. So I installed Comodo and passed.

    I'm using Comodo Beta 4 for Vista 32 right now. It's a pretty great firewall. I'm running it as a 'Simple Firewall' right now to replace Windows Firewall.
